[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all “fight” doesn’t equate physical violence. Then no fights in suburban schools? Very hard to believe. They are typically huge and probably you were not aware of everything that happened. Also a fight may not mean something serious necessarily. It could be a typical, insignificant boy scuffle. I have seen that with my brothers so many times.. Many school shootings have happened in suburban schools through the years. So do you think there may be gun violence there but no fights ever?[/quote]

You think our kids don't know the difference between a fight and a sibling scuffle?  You can keep downplaying and dismissing, but that's not convincing anyone aware of the reports of our own kids.  No one is saying that there are daily brawls and injuries and major trauma.  I am saying the fighting is more than acceptable, more than my children have experienced in the past at DCPS schools, and far more than I was ever exposed to.  It is enough to be unnerving and stressful for my child, and I don't see why anyone should have to put up with that.  I'm sorry you have such low standards.[/quote]

This.  It seems crazy that parents are downplaying these prevalent issues in DCPS as normal.  It’s not.

The trolls are the ones in denial of not just the fights but huge behavior problems that exist that affects lots of students, the learning environment, etc..[/quote]
